“…In a short period of time, SVM have found numerous applications in chemistry, such as in drug design [28] when discriminating between ligands and nonligands, inhibitors and non-inhibitors, drug discovery [29], quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR, where SVM regression is used to predict various physical, chemical, or biological properties) [30], chemometrics (optimization of chromatographic separation or compound concentration prediction from spectral data as examples), sensors (for qualitative and quantitative prediction from sensor data), chemical engineering (fault detection and modeling of industrial processes) [31]. An excellent review of SVM applications in chemistry can be found in [32].…”
